Patient and Family Partnership Council
Trillium Health Partners establishes first Patient and Family Partnership Council
In 2014, Trillium Health Partners launched its Patient and Family Partnership Council (PFPC). The partnership council is a consultation table with members from our hospital’s health care teams as well as patients and families living in the Mississauga community. It will play a vital role in ensuring that our hospital continues to deliver care that reflects the changing needs of this community now and for many years to come.
At Trillium Health Partners, we are committed to making sure that our patients and families receive the highest quality care and an exceptional patient experience. Our hope is that the partnership council will help us understand the needs and priorities of our patients and families. The aims of this council are to:
- Allow the diverse voices of our patients and families to be heard, and ensure they are reflected in the care we deliver
- Enable patients and families to actively participate in the development of programs and policies; and,
- Provide a safe opportunity for patients and families to share their personal experiences
We know that members of our community will contribute invaluable knowledge, insight and experience through this new consultation table. This will allow our organization to have a better understanding of the patient experience through their eyes, and will allow us to continue to build on a vision where decisions are made in partnership with our patients and their families. Part of creating a new kind of health care for a healthier community means patient-centred design of care. This is why a commitment to provide patient engagement opportunities is at the core of Trillium Health Partners. Additional opportunities to provide input from the patient perspective also exist in our cancer and renal programs. Please contact our Patient Relations Department to learn more: 905-813-4109.
